First report on diversity and strengths of existing business models and discussion of sustainability (D6.3.1)
The first pro-iBiosphere report on "Diversity and strengths of existing business models and discussion of sustainability (D6.3.1)" was released on March 4, 2013. This report summarises the exploitation plans foreseen to date by each project partner and the business models they use. The next phase will be to bring this information in the light of a "market context" or "market background".
In order to gather inputs from project partners, a questionnaire was sent to all pro-iBiosphere consortium partners. The questionnaire included three parts, addressing:
:: Exploitation plans at the level of each organization,
:: Business models currently is use by organization, and
:: Market context and sustainability perspectives.
Successive versions of this deliverable with updated inputs from all consortium partners will be produced in the next months. In addition, a plenary meeting: "Meeting to evaluate business models currently in use by partners and relevant non-partners" will be organised in November 2014. The plenary will provide a significant step towards sustainability plans.
